Thyroid disease is extremely common both in America and around the world and thyroid problems are often an underlying cause of other health problems. Up to 60% of the people who have a thyroid problem don’t even know it. This is partly because some thyroid problems are not readily recognized from standard lab tests.
So, what are the signs thyroid problems might be at the root of your health issues? Symptoms that signal a need to consider the possibility of low thyroid include feeling weak or tired and cold, having dry skin, trouble losing weight or high cholesterol. Other possible symptoms include hair loss, depression, infertility, migraines, anxiety, memory problems and menstrual irregularities. A smaller number of people also have a hyperactive thyroid. Symptoms that point to this possibility include feeling hyper and anxious, having a rapid heart rate, and rapid weight loss.
In either case, whether your thyroid is running too low or too high, you need to get your thyroid function back into balance for optimal health. There’s just one catch, most cases of thyroid disorders aren’t resolved by treating the thyroid. That’s right! Thyroid medication, iodine supplements and seaweeds won’t fix most thyroid problems because 90% of all thyroid problems are actually caused by autoimmune problems. This means that it is the immune system that needs to be fixed, not the thyroid gland itself. So, in this month’s Sunshine Sharing Hour we’ll discuss the symptoms and natural approaches to both hypothyroid (low thyroid) and hyperthyroid (high thyroid).
